SAY NO TO 231 GRAND ST SHELTER

The Issue

THE DEPARTMENT OF HOMELESS SERVICES WANTS TO ADD ANOTHER HOMELESS SHELTER TO CHINATOWN, THIS TIME IN THE HEART OF OUR COMMUNITY LOCATED AT 231 GRAND STREET AND BOWERY IN THE FORMER HANBEE HOTEL.

Chinatown already carries a disproportionate burden of homeless shelters here in Manhattan - 6 existing homeless shelters, 4 in the active pipeline - all concentrated in Chinatown.

We say NO MORE SHELTERS and NO to 231 Grand Street.

You are our voice. Stop #shelterdumping #NotFairShare

Please protect our safety, to allow us to thrive and grow our businesses to contribute positively to our community in which we live and work in daily.
